Experimental Conditions. All chemicals obtained from Aldrich Chemical Co. were the best available purity and used without further purification unless otherwise indicated. Solvents were dried according to published procedures and distilled under Ar prior to use [1]. H 18 2 O (95% 18 O-enriched) and 18 O 2 (95% 18 O-enriched) were purchased from ICON Services Inc. (Summit, NJ, USA). m- Chloroperbenzoic acid (m-cpba) purchased from Aldrich was purified by washing with phosphate buffer (ph 7.4) followed by water and then dried under reduced pressure. Peracetic acid (CH 3 CO 3 H, 32 wt. % solution containing <6% H 2 O 2 ) was obtained from Aldrich. Perbenzoic acids and phenylperacetic acid (PPAA) were prepared by literature methods [2]. Iron(II) complexes such as Fe(TPA)(ClO 4 ) 2, Fe(BPMEN)(ClO 4 ) 2, Fe(N4Py)(ClO 4 ) 2, and Fe(TMC)(CF 3 SO 3 ) 2 were prepared in a glovebox by literature methods [3-6]. Caution: Perchlorate salts are potentially explosive and should be handled with great care. UV-vis spectra were recorded on a Hewlett Packard 8453 spectrophotometer equipped with an Optostat DN variable-temperature liquid-nitrogen cryostat (Oxford instruments). Electrospray ionization mass spectra (ESI MS) were collected on a Thermo Finnigan (San Jose, CA, USA) LCQ TM Advantage MAX quadrupole ion trap instrument, by infusing samples directly into the source at 2 µl/min using a syringe pump. The spray voltage was set at 4 kv and the capillary temperature at 7 C. EPR spectra were obtained on a JEOL JES-FA2 spectrometer. 1 H NMR spectra were recorded on Varian Unity MHz spectrometer. Elemental Analysis was done on a Thermo Finnigan Italia SpA (Flash EA 1112) CHN analyzer. 2,5-Bis(5 tert-butyl-2-benzoxazol-2-yl)thiophene (BBOT) was used as a reference standard. Crystallographic analysis was conducted with an SMART APEX CCD equipped with a Mo X-ray tube at the X-ray Crystallographic Laboratory of Ewha Womans University. The structure solution and refinement of the data were handled with the SHELXS-86 and SHELXL-97 programs, respectively [7,8]. All reactions were followed by monitoring spectral changes of reaction solutions with a UV-vis spectrophotometer. In general, 3 equiv of perbenzoic acid (3 mm, diluted in µl of CH 3 CN) were added to a reaction solution containing an iron(ii) complex (1 mm) in CH 3 CN (3 ml) at 4 o C. [(TPA)Fe IV =O] 2+ (2) was generated by adding 1.2 equiv of 2
CH 3 CO 3 H (1.2 mm, diluted in µl of CH 3 CN) to a solution of Fe(TPA)(ClO 4 ) 2, (1 mm) in CH 3 CN (3 ml) at 4 o C. [Fe III (TPA)(5-Cl-salicylate)(ClO 4 )] was synthesized by reacting equimolar amounts of Fe(TPA)(ClO 4 ) 2 and 5-Cl-salicylic acid in CH 3 CN in air. Purple crystals suitable for crystallographic analysis were obtained from CH 3 CN/diethyl ether.

Reaction conditions: All reactions were followed by monitoring spectral changes of reaction solutions with a UV-vis spectrophotometer and by taking ESI MS of the reaction solutions. Complex 2-18 O was prepared by carrying out the reaction of 1 (1 mm) and 1.2 equiv peracetic acid in CH 3 CN containing butyl ether as a co-solvent (5:1 v/v) at -4 C (unpublished results) in order to facilitate the oxygen-atom exchange between 2 and H 18 2 O. The formation of 2 was confirmed by a UV-vis spectrophotometer, showing a typical absorption band at 72 nm. The ESI MS of 2 was recorded by infusing the sample directly into the source by keeping reaction solutions at 4 o C. The mass peak at m/z 462 corresponds to [Fe(III)(TPA)(OH)(ClO 4 )] + (calculated m/z of 462) (see inset a). We have confirmed that when butyl ether is used as a co-solvent, 2 exhibits a mass peak at m/z 462 corresponding to [Fe(III)(TPA)(OH)(ClO 4 )] +, not a mass peak at m/z 461 corresponding to [Fe(IV)(TPA)(O)(ClO 4 )] +. This is probably due to the occurrence of a H-atom abstraction by [Fe(IV)(TPA)(O)(ClO 4 )] + at the spray nozzle. Then, H 18 2 O (1 µl, diluted in µl of CH 3 CN) was added to the reaction solution to prepare 2-18 O. After 1 min incubation, ESI MS of the resulting mixture was taken, showing a major peak at m/z 464 which corresponds to [Fe(III)(TPA)( 18 OH)(ClO 4 )] + (calculated m/z of 464) (see inset b). By analyzing the relative abundances of 462 and 464 for 16 O and 18 O, respectively, we found that 2 contained 56 % 18 O. 3 was then generated by adding 3 equiv of m-cpba (diluted in µl of CH 3 CN) to the reaction mixture. The ESI MS of 3 exhibits a mass peak at m/z 516 which corresponds to [Fe(III)(TPA)(Cl-salicylate)] + (see inset c), 9
indicating that the source of oxygen incorporated into the salicylate ligand is not the iron oxo of 2 but m-cpba. 1
